\section{Elaboration of our Research Question}
\label{sec:elaboration}

We have now showed that the Internet architecture form a basis for conflicting interests, because of its multi-sided, multi-stakeholder nature. At the same time the underlying architecture of the Internet has not been able to keep up with the pace of its utilization. Users nowadays focus on content and information instead of locations, which are the constituent parts of Internet communications. This gap has created  certain problems, for which ICN is a theoretical solution. 

In the light of Rexford and Dovrolis' article, one can say that until now we have presented research dealing with \textit{intelligent mutations}. What we want to explore are the barriers for these to transform into innovations that are adopted by technology and society. Now we can return to the formulation of our research question:

\begin{quote}
\textit{``What are the main barriers to a transition of the current Internet architecture to an Information-Centric architecture?''}
\end{quote}

\noindent This whole chapter contains arguments for the fact that we are actually facing a transition. Furthermore we have outlined that there are other barriers than technical, which have not been thoroughly identified. These can of course be related to its already mentioned multi-sidedness, but we do not know exactly to what extent. Basically, we want to explore what hinders this transition and hopefully by that enable ourselves to discuss whether ICN is a \textit{realizable} solution or not.
